There is a reason Death of a Unicorn keeps coming up in conversation. Death of a Unicorn does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A father and daughter accidentally hit and kill a unicorn while en route to a weekend retreat, where his billionaire boss seeks to exploit the creature’s miraculous curative properties. Between them, Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega carry the comedy without ever forcing it. Death of a Unicorn came out in 2025. What keeps Death of a Unicorn from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.
